We all know how healthy sleep is good for our body. Fall asleep before 12 at night and wake up after 8 hours of sound sleep – it is a guarantee of beauty, vitality and health. But the vast majority of people, especially residents of large cities, cannot afford such a luxury. The fast pace of life, large amounts of work and nightly entertainment often make us give up proper sleep. But it also happens that there is enough time for rest for the body, but you still can’t fall asleep. As a result, after just a few hours of sleep at night, you really want to sleep all day. Why can't you get a good night's sleep?
Bad sleep at night – the reason why you want to sleep during the day
It seemed like a dream – this is the simplest and most accessible pleasure for the body.
During the working day, many people want to sleep more than anything, but as soon as it's time to go to bed – sleep as if by hand.
And hour after hour you lie in the dark, wondering what is the reason for this state. And there can be several reasons:
1. You don't allow yourself to sleep.
That's right, the inability to sleep at night – this is your own setup. There are many exciting things to do in the world, and for many people it seems that sleep – it's a waste of time. The desire to do everything and get by with a minimum amount of sleep ends exactly when fatigue takes over all other needs. Somnologists – people who study sleep and its disorders believe that the spontaneous setting of maximum wakefulness and minimum sleep affects biorhythms, disrupting the sleep-wake cycle. As a result of this, it is impossible to fall asleep even when there is time and opportunity to sleep. Try to reschedule your day with healthy sleep, enough time and attention.
2. In your bedroom – mess.
Dr. Wei-Shin Lai, a sleep researcher, believes that a messy bedroom can cause poor sleep. As the doctor explains, in a dream, our brain remembers and analyzes everything that we see and think about before going to bed. If you go to bed in a mess, your brain projects what you've seen over your entire life and starts processing all that junk. That is why it is impossible to fall asleep at night, and during the day – always want to sleep. Tidy up your bedroom, get rid of unnecessary things and get a dry lavender mixture. Studies show that the scent of lavender calms the mind and helps to fall asleep easily and sleep well.
3. You fall asleep on an empty stomach.
You have probably heard the statement that eating before bed – this is very harmful. In some aspects this is true, but we are talking about a solid meal before bed. Hunger and rumbling in the stomach will distract your brain from getting ready for sleep. About half an hour before bedtime, you should have a light sandwich made from whole grain bread or a small portion of porridge. The intake of up to 150 kcal in the body will help him relax and properly prepare for sleep.
4. You are terrified to wake up.
Thinking that you have to get up very early can be a major cause of poor sleep. Anxiety provokes the production of adrenaline and cortisol in the body – hormones that help the body deal with stress. And if we are talking about stress, then what kind of dream can there be. Even if you have to get up in a few hours, try to relax and think about the pleasant things that await you in the next day. Also, get in the habit of not checking how many hours of sleep you have left. The realization that there is very little time for sleep provokes a new release of stress hormones into the blood.
Lack of sleep at night – this is the main reason why you want to sleep so much during the day.
Remember that night sleep – this is a rest for all organs and structures of your body, and your brain controls them. Put things in order in your head, your affairs and in your bedroom, and then your sleep will definitely be strong, and every day – cheerful and productive.
